Episode 199- Cam Josse- Reverse Engineering The Entire Game
“Instead of giving them a bunch of coaching cues at first, give them the principle of the idea first and work backwards from there.”“The what, then follows, the why”“Everybody says work backward from the game, but not everyone has a road map to do that.”This episode of The Podcast is brought to you by Exxentric, the makers of the kBox and kPulley.

Cam starts out by discussing with us how the voyage from reading a book to writing a book with Fergus Connolly has changed his outlook on training. This leads him directly into the idea of reverse engineering the sport, what that means to the principles of his training program, and where are some mistakes that he has observed some coaches making with this. He includes how teaching them the tactics and the idea’s of creating and constraining space has changed not just how he teaches his athletes movement skills, but has improved how his athlete’s understand what they’re trying to get them to do. Cam then talks about the cognitive and psychological aspects of training, and how that can be a huge factor in the transfer of training to competition.

My Thoughts Monday #97- Jay DeMayo- Confirmation Bias Is Our Ceiling
“Let’s try to find people who will do a little less confirmation bias and a little more constructive criticism.”This My Thoughts Monday is brought to you by Vald Performance, the team behind the NordBord, ForceDecks, the GroinBar and HumanTrak. With all their products providing evidence-based solutions to performance professionals so they can get the right information, for the right decision, at the right time. Make sure to go check out all their great products at: www.valdperformance.comDr. Charlie Weingroff gave a presentation at The 2019 Edition of The Seminar was one of the best talks we have ever had. I feel that one huge take home that people missed from this talk is the message he started his talk with, and that revolved around people asking for help, but not listening. To me, this demonstrates a simple part of human nature, and that is searching for confirmation of what we are doing over criticism or corrections.

My Thoughts Monday #96- Coaches and Gadgets Are Not Psychics
“Numbers can be very important and can help us find better ways to do things, to be more efficient, and to have better goals to reach for. They can help us decide what we actually need to be training for and why it’s important.” This My Thoughts Monday is brought to you by Vald Performance, the team behind the NordBord, ForceDecks, the GroinBar and HumanTrak. With all their products providing evidence-based solutions to performance professionals so they can get the right information, for the right decision, at the right time. Make sure to go check out all their great products at: www.valdperformance.comIn this weeks My Thoughts Monday I share my opinion of topic that has been in the news of late, and that is using a device to predict and eliminate injuries. Preventing injuries and predicting outcomes to competition are things that have been a sexy topic of late, but may be unattainable with the human impact on games. We as a vocation need to be careful with where we attach ourselves and how we address these ideas because when things go south we may be setting ourselves up for our demise.
